So why should you collaborate with me? I love what I do and I do what I love. I’ve been a photographer for over a decade and if I have anything to say about it, there’s no end in sight and long as I am physically able to do what I do. While it’s true the competition is through the stratosphere, being a photographer is much more than just wielding a camera or flash equipment with skill and experience.

It’s about your family, and noticing the little things, like at your wedding when grandpa is playing with his grandkiddo off in the corner and nobody is paying attention. But I am.

It’s about the moment where big sis helps her little brother fix his hair before we get the family together. Her care matters, and it’s these little moments of love that I capture.

It’s about making sure my studio is accessible to those who are differently abled.

It’s about making those who are different feel respected, seen and heard, and helping them show the world who they are.

It’s about comfort, kindness, and patience. Understanding if you don’t feel like your best self in front of a lens and doing everything within my power to bring your best self out of you. I will see you and take care of you and meet you where you are. I will pause a moment so your newborn can feed or be changed. I will listen to your kiddo if they say the flash is too bright, and make adjustments to make them feel safe and heard. I will bring you water on the hot July day as we gather the family for group photos and we’re waiting because Uncle Bill is nowhere to be found.

It’s about caring. It’s about people. It’s about you.
